In performance reports you can ask for field ConversionTypeName. In the report this should be returned with the name "conversionActionName", as documented in the docs. Since this morning, with certain accounts in certain reports (not all of them!), the field is returned as "conversionType".

See the items in bold. This particular report was requested for customer 538-185-6853. The behavior is very unpredictable. For every account we ask five reports with this field, half of the accounts have no problem at all, meaning that the right name (conversionActionName) is returned. About 10% get the wrong name in the first report asked, the remaining (most of them!) get the wrong name in one of the later reports. The reports involved are AUTOMATIC_PLACEMENTS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT (the first report requested) KEYWORDS_PERFORMANCE_REPORT AD_PERFORMANCE_REPORT PLACEMENT_PERFORMANCE_REPORT ADGROUP_PERFORMANCE_REPORT Can the original behavior be restored? If not, can the documentation reflect which field names are returned in which conditions?
